Amalia Chardonnay

and mothers are always celebrated together at Palmaz Vineyards. Amalia Palmaz was the inspiration and instigator of our Chardonnay. Although Julio always wanted a singular focus on exceptional Cabernet, Amalia convinced him that not every meal needs to be paired with such powerful wine; once in a while, she said, “a little white can be delightful.” He acquiesced, dedicating one tunnel in the Cave to Chardonnay fermentation.

2015 Palmaz Vineyards Amalia Chardonnay

This wine is a pastoral muse, enticing images of less hectic times. With each sip bursts of fresh apples, Meyer lemons, and quince lure you to unwind. The varied layers of fresh fruit, toasty brioche, and pie spices are introduced onto the palate as each sip gently glides across the palate. Some vintages are taught and vibrant, others restrained; but this charming Chardonnay quietly entices you to sit back, find a beat and revive your wary mind and palate.
